"I've found three children who fit the requirements for the gang. Now, I'm a small leader in charge of collecting protection fees for all the shops on the street."
Clang —
"Next …"
Those who committed all kinds of evil would be humanely destroyed. Those who committed lesser crimes would be given a three-piece set of broken fingers, broken arms, and broken legs depending on the severity of their crimes. It was not certain whether they could turn over a new leaf, but it was certain that they would lose the conditions to continue doing evil.
"Where's the treasure vault?"
In the end, Elvin woke up the leader of the stronghold. While he was still unconscious, he directly poured a Spirit Inducing Magic Potion into his mouth.
"Ho … Ho … The treasure vault is … Ho …"
"What did you say?"
Unable to hear clearly, Elvin took a step closer.
He muttered to himself strangely, "Will there be other symptoms if the two Magic Potions are used together? Will it be obvious in a few individuals? Why does this guy look like he's about to die? "
Just as Elvin approached, there was a sudden change.
"Roar —!"
The neatly dressed man who was leaning on the high back chair suddenly opened his eyes wide, revealing only the whites of his eyes. He roared like a wild beast and jumped up, pouncing towards Elvin who was right in front of him.
While he was still in mid-air, the clothes around his abdomen were instantly torn. Bloody tentacles with a strong smell of sulfur, flesh, and even squirming organs had already shot out, like a "stamen" of flesh and blood surrounding Elvin.
Whoosh —
Whoosh —
"How is this possible? He's just a mortal! "Although he was shocked, Elvin did not panic at all. While the tip of his toes touched the ground and flew back, the Swift Sword in his hand had already turned into a bright sword screen.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Even if the bloody tentacles were far stronger than a mortal's limit, it was still difficult to break through this thin layer of sword screen. Instead, he was slashed until his blood splattered everywhere.
Roar —
Finally, before the squirming flesh completely surrounded him, Elvin retreated from the room that had turned into a monster's lair and escaped unscathed.
The man who had undergone a strange mutation did not chase after them. Instead, he hung upside down like a spider with tentacles all over its body and climbed up to the ceiling.
Its four limbs were bent backwards, and its swollen belly was facing Elvin's direction. It had completely transformed into a deformed monster.
"Is this … a parasite?"
Elvin was a little uncertain. He had only seen a few simple descriptions in the library.
Parasites were a creature unique to the lower realm. They were one of the descendants of the higher demons among the demons. They were also a common casting medium for many "demon priests", "demon warlocks", and other human spellcasters.
It was actually very fragile, but it was cheap and useful when used to control mortals and create cannon fodder so that the government wouldn't shoot at it for fear of breaking the vases.
If his guess was correct, this parasite, whose appearance was unsightly to the audience, would overdraw the settlement leader's life force under the control of the caster behind the scenes. It would erupt in the shortest amount of time possible, allowing him to be a real man … ahem … superhuman for one minute.
Although he wasn't as strong as an official Knight, he was very difficult to deal with. Er, he was also very disgusting.
Is this some kind of Blood Hand upper echelon's method of controlling their subordinates? Then why don't the other settlement leaders have it?
The "monster" didn't intend to give Elvin more time to think.
Drip, drip, drip. Disgusting blood dripped down. In the middle of the wriggling flesh on the monster's abdomen, a lone mouth full of fangs grew out. It looked like the head of some kind of beast that had half its skin peeled off. It was ferocious and terrifying!
"Wow! Second transformation?! "
Elvin, who was wearing a mask, seemed to have taken off the mask of a naval officer. He seemed to have let go of his nature …
"Hah —"
After a long sigh, the terrifying mouth was obviously commanded by another consciousness to roar, "How dare you cause trouble in Blood Hand's territory. Leave your life here."
Ra —!!!
As he spat out a strange syllable, some kind of unique energy quickly gathered in the air.
Then, an invisible impact spread out like ripples. It was faster than sound and quickly caught up with Elvin who was about to continue retreating.
"Not good!"
Bang —
He was sent flying with an irresistible force and crashed heavily into the wall opposite the room.
"Cough … Cough …"
Elvin kept coughing as he got up. It was just that he felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer.
Fortunately, no one saw it. He took back his words and admitted that this guy was not just a little difficult to deal with.
It was indeed the limitation of a physical-type profession. When facing physical attacks, no matter if it was swords, arrows, or bullets, as long as one's reaction was fast enough and had enough strength, there was no problem of not being able to resist. However, when facing this kind of unreasonable magical attack, as a Knight, he couldn't even defend himself.
"But I'm not just a simple Knight."
He put his sword back into its scabbard and wiped his hands across his waist. In an instant, he held a gun in his hand. The excellent double-barreled flintlock that he had seized from "Scarlet Archer" Sean had become Major Elvin's most powerful weapon.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The tentacles waved and protected the terrifying mouth in the middle tightly, but they ignored the settlement leader's body.
Sizzle —
"Ow …"
Listening to the sound that sounded like a soldering iron falling on the skin, Elvin smiled proudly.
"You're too naive. Since I know that you're dealing with low-level monsters, how can I not be prepared? Lead bullets soaked in No.3 Holy Water are the highest grade goods that can be bought on the market. "
"Try this!"
Elvin threw out a glass bottle filled with pale golden liquid. Under his extraordinary strength, the small glass bottle was like a cannonball, exploding on the tentacles before they could even react.
"Ow —!!!"
In an instant, an ear-piercing scream almost tore through Elvin's eardrums. Enduring the discomfort, Elvin pulled out his sword again. His body twisted and turned into a shadow as he rushed toward the monster that had begun to melt under the corrosion of the Holy Water.
Whoosh —
The swift sword turned into a silver lightning bolt, piercing through the air with a sharp whistle. With a puff, it pierced through the "monster"'s abdomen and directly nailed it to the ceiling.
No matter how strong the parasite was, its host was just an ordinary person who was not even an Extraordinaire. After being severely injured, it could no longer use its magic ability.
"Heh … You've offended the Blood Hand, you … you can't escape …"
"Hey, don't you have any new words?" Elvin dug his ears, feeling hopeless at the lack of vocabulary of these villains.
He took out a bottle of highly distilled liquor from the wine cabinet in the room and poured it on the "monster", igniting it immediately.
Boom!
The flames burned fiercely …
Elvin knew that the spellcaster behind the parasite was unharmed. He had only killed a puppet cannon fodder, but he was not worried that the spellcaster would be able to find him.
At most, it would be an official sorcerer level spellcaster. Unless it was a direct attack, his mystical knowledge and the extraordinary status of an official Knight were enough to deal with any investigation from the mystical side.
Just outside the room, on the smooth marble floor, a ritual made of candles and spices had been burned to ashes.
Before the operation, Elvin had already used an anti-divination ritual to cut off the spiritual connection between this place and the outside world. With his extraordinary status, unless it was a high-ranking sorcerer who specialized in divination, it would be impossible to find him.
Find a high-ranking sorcerer? Was it possible? The principal of Princeton was the strongest sorcerer in the kingdom, but he was only a third-grade sorcerer!
If they wanted to go through the official channels, Elvin would welcome them with open arms.
He had already received the communication authorization from the second Princess, Levina. Plus, he had just received three extremely important medals. As long as he was not out of his mind, no non-official forces in the Faletis Kingdom would be able to touch him openly.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Elvin did not intend to use his relationship with the crown prince.
Background could be used as insurance, but it could not be used as his own ability.
If he could not continue on the path of Extraordinaire, or even surpass the expectations of some people, Elvin did not believe that they would treat him the same as before. To forge iron, one had to be strong.
"Bingo, next is the chests opening time that everyone will love to see!"
